Morrisey's - Abbeyleix

So quaint but a lovely Irish pub . Full of old Irish history. Friendly staff. Nice Guiness in this pub.

Great pub. Atmospheric. Good Guinness and great friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. Can think of worse ways to spend an afternoon

I have been visiting Morrissey's for over 20 years now, and bless it, it had been going a little downhill these past few years. Roll on 2022, new owner and management, a little money spent in the back garden (yes, that was a major surprise! a spruce up indoors, new management and staff, and all is more than well. Still the best pint in Ireland. Enjoyed the live music out back. Next stop, a little food please. There is only so much Taytos and Scampi Fries a man can eat. My kids are all grown up now and are buying me pints. Moved on from Red Lemonade to harder stuff. Well done all at Morrissey's

On a day out with friends I brought two friends to Morrisseys having discovered they had never been there before. And what a surprise for them. They just loved everything about the pub. So interesting looking at all the old memorbelia. And the pictures to check out. We were lucky to meet a Grandson of a Man who worked there so he gave us a lot of information. And the Guinness was so good. And Shane was an excellent barman so friendly chatty. A really pleasant visit that my friends will be talking about for a while.

This used to be the jewel in the crown of Irish pubs, but it has taken on a neglected aspect. It is tired and dreary and in dire need of some TLC. Loud dance music in mid-afternoon was utterly incongruous. I used to recommend a trip to Morrisseys to all visitors to Ireland, but the days when it won pub of the year (2004) seem very far away.
